Why you Should Attend?
Pesticides are important tools for controlling organisms that can harm our pools. As with any tool, their misuse can pose a threat to human health and environmental quality. It’s important to know how to properly treat our pools, store and handle all chemicals not only to keep our pools safe, but ourselves and others around us.
